An atmosphere of care, comfort, and ease
A graceful and welcoming older property: lovingly maintained and improved and kept very clean. Knotty wood furniture combined with the sleek amenities (refrigerator, Keurig, wall-mount hairdryer) to create a pleasing, rustic-tinged informality in the rooms. As a former business traveler, I also appreciated the well-provisioned and promptly refreshed conference rooms. The event tent was appealing and comfortable even in inclement weather. There is an atmosphere of care, comfort and ease throughout; for example, the lobby, business center, restaurant, etc., are elegant enough to please city tastes while still seeming just the thing to find next to a lovely lake. The staff were cheerful, courteous and kind despite the challenges of an onsite conference catering to a much younger demographic than myself. My only difficulty, if it could be called that, was when my toilet did not at first flush. I quickly discovered that the chain had fallen from the lever inside the tank, replaced it, and all was well. The mechanism itself was modern, the water pressure excellent, and when I mentioned the incident the following morning so that maintenance could check it after my stay, they seemed about ready to race down the hall that very instant, just to be sure. I was actually startled at how quickly my room was made up each morning. This was my first stay; I look forward to returning to the Margate.
